Maker's Mark Private Selection Inferno

88/ 100Very good

Maker's Mark Inferno is a Kentucky bourbon release associated with the brand's soft, wheated house style. For a novice drinker, that usually means a sweeter and rounder profile than a rye-forward bourbon, with oak playing an important supporting role.

The extra wood finish adds complexity, bringing caramelized nuts, forest honey, bitter chocolate, coffee, nutmeg and clove, with a long, cinnamon-laced finish.
